This project, Peartree House, is a large existing detached dwelling. Our client needed a significant extension to the house to create additional bedrooms, a master suite, a large living kitchen dining space and a connection out to a new pool house over looking the rural garden setting. Some remodelling of the interior of the existing house was needed to allow a good flow into the newer additions. The living kitchen and dining space was added to the rear with a large skylight and glazed opening onto the terrace. Utility space, wc, plant room and swimming pool changing areas were also added linking to both a back door onto the driveway and into the pool house which was designed to accommodate a 4 x 12m indoor swimming pool. Upstairs an incredible master bedroom suite was created with a 2 storey bedroom and double height vaulted space including a feature bath with views over the balcony and farm land beyond. Externally, the bedroom extensions where designed in the style of the original cottage and the new spaces including the pool have a more modern but countryside barn style with timber cladding and pitched roofs.
